If the Fiat 124 looks familiar, that’s because underneath its Italian sheetmetal lurks a Mazda MX-5 Miata. That’s not a bad thing—the Miata is one of our favorites. So how is the 124 different? Well, it’s 5.5 inches longer overall, and under the hood is a 1.4-liter turbo four making 160 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque versus the Miata’s 155 hp and 148 lb-ft. A six-speed manual and a six-speed automatic will be offered with different gearing for quicker acceleration. Look for it in summer 2016.
